Review: A Visual Treat! - Book time! I have been voraciously reading, it is the time of year where I go deep into the books and tend not to come out again until spring. Today's book is The Tea Book by Linda Gaylard and by one of my favorite publishers, DK. See, DK has a tendency to publish really pretty books, their book on Gemstones is still a classic favorite, but this is about tea and not rocks. From the moment I cracked open the book I was impressed with the visuals, it is beautiful! But looks alone do not make a book (unless it was a photo book, of course) so how is the substance? First off I will say, I think I found THE perfect book for people new to tea and with a voracious appetite for knowledge. This covers so many of the basics, but instead of stopping there it delves deep into various cultures, history, and regions. I was pleased to see coverage on Korean tea and their tea culture, along with Vietnam and Kenya, and not just the typical China, Japan, India, and Sri Lanka. There is a large section on recipes, but it is not the more trendy cooking with teas but different drinks using tea. Frankly most of them look so delicious, I plan on breaking a few of them out for events when I have to serve tea to a bunch of people. So many delicious looking recipes, plus a method for making popping spheres meaning an upgrade to bubble teas. Along with lots of juicy information about tea and recipes, there is a section on herbal teas/tisanes. I had mixed feelings on this, on the one hand it was very valuable information (the wheel of healing was my favorite) and herbal teas are definitely a big part of the tea world, but on the other hand this is space that could have been filled with more info about tea! At times I wish this book would have delved deeper into various topics, mostly because I really enjoy Linda's writing style (I have been following her blog for a while, good reading there!) and would have loved to have seen more of it combined with DK's signature bombastic visuals. I find myself daydreaming about a book of this style devoted entirely to Yunnan's tea culture or Vietnamese tea. Again, I really cannot stress how I think everyone interested in tea should buy this book, even though a lot of the information presented was a refresher for me, I loved reading it because it is so well written and enjoyable.
Review: Everything You Want To Know About Tea - This highly visual and complete guide to all things tea is excellent. The Tea Book is filled with fine photos and concise information. From the history of tea, the wide variety tea plants, the leaf gathering, processing, and brewing, to the different tea cultures around the world, the various health benefits of different herbs, pictures of many tea tools, pots, and kettles, and plenty of recipes to top it off. A pretty classy, informative, and enjoyable read. Although I found a majority of the recipes a bit too fancy or time consuming, I did appreciate that there is a page on the somewhat complicated process of making kombucha. My mother also enjoyed this book very much, so I would safely assume it makes a proper gift for tea lovers.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A lovely book for tea people.
*by L***Y on July 10, 2023*

I really like this book. It’s colorful, with good quality paper, interesting and well-written. I will enjoy learning about different teas from different regions. And it has pages and pages of how-to’s and many recipes. It will look great on my coffee table when I’ve finished reading it. It made me wonder if the author, Linda Gaylard, has authored any other books. I intend to find out.
